What about Hetherington?

Is at Leeds.

Although he is gradually handing things over to Sinfield.
Given that Hetherington turned Leeds into the monster that dominated (and still dominates in lots of commercial ways) Super League I imagine his retirement would be viewed with relief at other clubs.

I don’t know him personally like you do so can’t comment.

You’re obviously bitter that we’ve got one over you and secured the mighty Agar.

He's returning to England for family reasons, according to a statement from St George.

His results as a head coach aren't great, but he was at Wire, St George, and now Leeds in an assistant / member of the performance team capacity, not a head coach.

St George and Leeds would have no doubt done their due dilligance before hiring him - RL is a pretty small and well-connected sport - if he was as bad as social media and this forum makes out, he would have struggled to find work, yet oportunities keep presenting themselves to him.

Maybe as a member of a back-room setup, as a player development officer, head of performance or whatever, rather than the head coach, he's pretty good?

I still reflect of Richie Mathers' Tweets after he got the NRL gig -

"Not my place to. All im saying is Rich Agar is a brilliant coach, worked unbelievably hard, players loved him and ANY criticism is WAY off."
...
"Your completely entitled to your opinion but your so far off the mark. Hell of a lot of reasons but Agar 1000% wasn't one of them."

We played our greatest rugby in the last 40 years, under the tutelage of Tony Smith and Wiilie Poaching.
Smith then had the brainwave to break up the partnership, and bring his squash partner, and our levels of entertaining rugby fell off sharply, very quickly, until they fell off a cliff in 2017.

Leeds are welcome to him
There'll be season ticket holders jumping off the roofs of the refurbished Headingley
